Wizard World Austin hosts San Antonio connections aplenty

This year’s Wizard World Austin runs Friday through Sunday and promises a Texas-sized serving of science fiction and fantasy celebrities. That includes a good share of San Antonio talent.

Wizard’s boldly gone to Hollywood for its conventions of late and its Austin stop is no exception. The headliner: a “Star Trek: The Next Generation” 25-year reunion featuring Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner (who once attended San Antonio’s own Trinity University), Wil Wheaton and the rest of the series’ main stars.

• Sculptor Clayburn Moore, who grew up in San Antonio and now heads the Lago Vista, TX-based CS Moore Studio Ltd., which specializes in collectible statues and busts of comic book and fantasy characters.
